The advantages and design features of titanium plate heat exchangers

Titanium plate heat exchangers are highly efficient and compact heat exchange devices. Initially, they were used as continuous low-temperature sterilizers, and later began to be applied in the food industry. Due to the superior properties of titanium, it is favored by many industries and made into many different products, which are applied in many places. At present, titanium plate heat exchangers have been widely applied in industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical engineering, power, metallurgy, machinery, and energy, becoming a highly competitive variety in the heat exchanger family. China began to produce plate heat exchangers in the 1960s. Up to now, titanium plate heat exchangers have been widely used in many fields in China. Titanium and titanium alloys are a new type of corrosion-resistant metal material. Heat exchangers made of titanium feature excellent corrosion resistance, high heat transfer efficiency, smooth surface without scale layer, low specific gravity, high strength, and small equipment volume and weight. They are widely used in fields such as aviation, space exploration, Marine engineering, petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, electronics, medical and health care, food processing, and instrumentation.

What unique design features does the titanium plate heat exchanger have?
Titanium plate heat exchangers mainly have the following design features:
1) High efficiency and energy saving: Its heat transfer coefficient is between 3000 and 4500 kcal/m ². ℃? h has a thermal efficiency 3 to 5 times higher than that of shell and tube heat exchangers.
2) Compact structure: The plates of the plate heat exchanger are closely arranged. Compared with other types of heat exchangers, the plate heat exchanger occupies less floor space and area. The area of a plate heat exchanger with the same heat exchange capacity is only 1/5 of that of a shell and tube heat exchanger.
3) Easy to clean and disassemble: The plate heat exchanger is clamped by clamping bolts, making it convenient to disassemble and assemble. It can be opened for cleaning at any time.
Additionally, due to the smooth surface of the plates and high turbulence, it is less prone to scaling.
4) Long service life: The plate heat exchanger is made of stainless steel or titanium alloy plates, which can resist various corrosive media. The gaskets can be replaced at will and it is convenient to disassemble, assemble and maintain.
5) Strong adaptability: The plates of the plate heat exchanger are independent components, and the flow channels can be increased or decreased at will as required, with various forms. It can be applied to the requirements of various different processes.
6) No cross-flow of liquids: The sealing grooves of the plate heat exchanger are equipped with drainage channels, ensuring that various media will not mix. Even if a leakage occurs, the media will always be discharged outward.
